• Abtex said every artist has a God-given time to become famous and that success comes in different ways.
• He cited Alien Skin’s 2023 altercation with Pallaso as a moment that generated public sympathy and boosted his popularity.
• Abtex urged artists to stay humble, appreciate their supporters and handle fame responsibly to achieve lasting success.

Promoter Abtex has shared his thoughts on fame and success in the entertainment industry, emphasizing that every artist has a God-given time to shine.

Speaking during an appearance on NBS After5, Abtex said that no one becomes famous before their destined time, noting that recognition comes differently for different people.

According to him, artists should understand that fame often arrives unexpectedly and can come through situations that many may never anticipate.

He cited singer Alien Skin as an example, saying that one of the biggest turning points in the artist’s career came from a controversial incident in 2023 when fellow musician Pallaso repeatedly slapped him during a public altercation.

The promoter explained that the incident generated widespread public sympathy for Alien Skin and significantly boosted his popularity.

“That was his time to become so famous that he even organized a concert out of it and made so much money,” Abtex said.

However, he added that gaining fame is one thing and sustaining it is another. In his view, Alien Skin failed to use the opportunity properly, which contributed to a decline in his popularity after his rapid rise.

Abtex cautioned artists against becoming arrogant once they attain success, urging them to remain grounded and appreciative of the people who support them.

He advised musicians to stay true to the path through which they receive their blessings and to avoid taking fans and industry stakeholders for granted.

The promoter further stressed the importance of humility, saying that artists who remain focused, disciplined and respectful are more likely to enjoy long-lasting careers than those who allow fame to change them.
